A couple of users have mentioned foreach() iterating over two copies of each element in an array that you get from mysql_fetch_array(). One should note that this is not a failure of foreach(), but instead a property of mysql_fetch_array(). If you do not want to have numerical copies of your keys in your associative array (and you are using PHP v4.0.3 or better), it is best to use mysql_fetch_assoc() instead. In essense, mysql_fetch_array() is similar to array_merge(mysql_fetch_row(), mysql_fetch_assoc()), give or take the shuffling of natural order. I hope this helps :) - - Jesse Thompson -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+18362 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+18362 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+18362
